^Community Unity *
Its a lucky thing for human happi
ness, that folks were endowed with
the power of disagreement Other
wise we might all be as the sheep
in the fields; where one leads, the
flock follows. Thank fortune we can
not all agree on politics, or on relig
ion or love.
BUT WE CAN AGREE ON ONE
THING. We want this CITY TO BE
THE GREATEST AND BEST CITY
ON EARTH. Not necessarily the
largest, BUT THE BEST. WE
CAN agree on this basic proposition,
but we do not do so. Such agreement
may be known as COMMUNITY UNI-
ITY, the forerunner of all great civic
achievement. When we are unified on
the program of progress and stand
as ONE, squarely behind the BOARD
OF TRADE in its efforts, we have
attained COMMUNITY UNITY and
all things are possible.
A city is known by the Board of
Trade it keeps. We want Bainbridge
favorably known. v

the forerunner of aehieve-
A certain percentage of every dol
lar you spend at home goes to the
upbiulding of your city. When you
buy elsewhere, you help build some
other city.
This space will be contributed by
this papdV* every week for the sole
and sincere purpose of trying to add
new enthusiasm to the workers of the
city who function through the Board
of Trade. The Board of Trade is an
organization belonging to the people
of the city with the one purpose of
building—of purely unselfish motives.
Unfortrunately, the burden of the
Board is carried by a few patriotic
and far seeing citizens, while the ma
jority of the people are content to sit
by and let these few willing ones do
it all.
The contributions of this column
will, in the largest, be of an educa
tional- chararcter, as pertains tlap
Board of Trade and it is sincerely
hoped that new resolves will be form
ed by those who do not interest them
selves in this work, to turn over a
new leaf, become enthused in the city
of Bainbridge, forget selfish personal
ities and align themselves with the
Board of Trade for 1921.
Tsur family deserves tht
best to be had. Give them
a treat this Chrittsnas.

Extra Fine Baking
for Christmas
TJOW excited the kiddies are with
11 thoughts of Christmas toys and
good things to eatl They expect a great
treat—and of course you can’t disappoint
them.
Dainty Flour, with its high quality, will
help you produce the fine baking you
count on. It is milled from the choicest
soft winter wheat by a special slow pro
cess which retains all the unusual baking
qualities found only in such grain.
Because this quality wheat is scarcer and
higher priced than ordinary wheat, Dainty
costs more than ordinary flour. But
Dainty requires less shortening. And
think of the satisfaction of consistently
better bakingl

Facts of Vital Interest to

Two Very Dangerous
Constitutional Amend
ments Suggested.
During the 1920 session of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia there were
Introduced two Constitutional Atnend-
menta which have a direct bearing on
the earnings and values of the prop
erty of every citisen of the state, and
because of the declaration by the pro
moters of these bills, v that they will be
presented again to the next General
Assembly, it is the purpose of this
publication to acquaint the people of
Georgia with the nature of these pro
posed bills.
The First dill Is:
A constitutional amendment to
authorize the General Assembly to
create a “Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission” with authority to incur debt
in the name of the State for the pur
pose of purchasing, leasing, construct
ing, operating and maintaining public
utilities, such as water works, street
railways and plants for the genera
tion, transmission, distribution And
sale of electric or other light, heat or
power, and transmission lines or other
means for the transmission and distri
bution of light, heat and power. This
bill gives the proposed Hydro-Electric
Power Commission the authority to
condemn any and all such public utili
ties, and exempts them when so ac
quired, from the supervision of the
Railroad Commission of Georgia,
which now has control of the rates
and operating practices of all such
utilities in the State.
The Second Bill Is:
A constitutional- amendment to
authorize cities, to.wns and counties
to exceed the limitation of seven per
cent on debts, for the purpose of pro
viding money to carry out the pro
gramme of the Hydro-Electric Power
Commission as outlined in the previ
ous bill. It cancels the limitationa
and restrictions imposed by the Con
stitution as to the issuance of bonds
by counties and municipalities of the
State.
What Do These Bills Mean?
A MODEST ESTIMATE OF THE
PRESENT VALUE OF ALL OF
THE PROPERTIES IN GEORGIA
AFFECTED BY THESE BILLS IS
$150,000,000.00. The annual interest
on that amount of debt at the lowest
rate of interest would be $7,500,000.00.
Tim State of Georgia, and its coun
ties, cities and towns, would issue
bonds, first for the purchase price of
these properties. Then they would
issue more bonds every year for im
provements. r
Then they would issue some moro
bonds to cover the deficiencies in op
erating the plants in the large cities,
at rates lower than the cofit of service.
Every bond issued would j^a mort
gage on every home and farm in the
State.
Every dwelling, every farm owner
and every renter would be taxed to
pay the interest on these bonds, so
that the people living in the cities and
towns might have cheaper streH car
fares, cheaper gas, and cheaper lights
than the cost of furnishing them.
Jf you desire it, copies of these bills
will be mailed you if you will send
your name and P. O. address to this
payer.

Moife Poultry Pin Mon
You can get more eggs and make more
money by ‘feeding hens more material for
making whites of eggs. No grain feed con
tains anything like enough white-making
material (protein). As a result, many yolks are
formed in the hen’s body that are never laid.
Purina Poultry Chows
fed together, make more eggs because they
supply the scientific balance of all the elements
a hen requires to produce the
highest number of whites and
yolks of which she is capable.
